Due to the Capital City complex needed to be built in a quick schedule, a design team was gathered from a span of 11 time zones from Seattle to Moscow.
The Capital City complex uses this concept by the offset rotation of the tower segments to create a dynamic departure from the square's stability.
This rotational effect, achieved through a slight cantilever on only two façades of each vertical segment, does not compromise the regularity of the towers’ structure.
The tower pile caps were each installed during continuous, 33-hour mid-winter pours in temperatures ranging from −32 to −34 °C (−26 to −29 °F), under a large heated tent to keep the concrete from freezing.

[13] The City of Capitals is to serve as a mixed-use complex, featuring apartments, office space, retail, restaurants, fitness center, and a garden.
The complex also features a six-level basement that includes more than 2,200 parking spaces, electrical equipment and enlarged fire compartments.
